What Were You Eating Day 10?

[MindiJean 93]

My friend who had her surgery three weeks before me and I were talking today about the difference in how far we've progressed.

I am 10 days out, was never on a liquid diet or Protein Shakes, ate pureed food while in the hospital and will be moving to soft food this coming week. She had her surgery three weeks before me, was on liquid and Protein shakes for weeks before and after, and is just now starting to eat similarly to me...and she's scared to eat sometimes.

I'm no rocket scientist, but I think that my surgeon has the correct plan going on. I have more energy than my friend, I'm losing 1 to 2 pounds a day, and I'm not scared to eat. That being said, I'm "only" eating 1/4 cup of pureed food, three times a day. And two cups of milk for Snacks.< br />
